The problem is the roll out as the bees knees by anthropic, when its.. just some JSON slop without a ton of careful thought behind it. I think it should be mostly thrown away and start over with an MCPv2 that has first class auth, RBAC&#x2F

These topics are so important for junior engineers to grasp, because not only is it helpful for interacting with humans, providing the additional context to LLM's will get you much, much better answers. I wish there was a good source o

Path globbing, pipes, redirection, job control (fg/bg), and all shell variables -- not just $PATH -- are all handled by the shell. The kernel has no idea what the current process' environment $PATH is, and doesn't even parse

I get your point. Inevitably someone sees “oh I can swap two values with 3x xor” and puts it in a real codebase. Write readable code. We probably don’t need to save the single word of memory in 2025. Someone at work learned what a bitmap wa

Eh, sure, the CIA isn't behind honest. China isn't being honest. There's too many parties with ulterior motives to trust anything being said. China has done a great job of looking like they're covering something up. I

It’s the moderators of the subreddit… who are Onyx BOOX employees.

I mean, I do. I've written some GPL code that actually runs on Boox devices, and I'm quite annoyed they refuse to comply to share back their changes.

If the new Paperwhite supported immersion reading (highlights the word as audible book plays), I'd grab it. It works on my Boox with the Android app but as far as I know not on any kindles (battery life + screen refresh speed allegedl

I wouldn't buy anything from Boox. Notorious GPL violators.

It is here. AED’s are everywhere in NYC. Whether someone actually stops to help is another story.

Why doesn’t NYC have smaller ambulances? In Berlin for example they’re normal width vehicles. Maybe they're not equipped the same but all that gear won’t do anything if you can’t get there.

I teach CS, and oh we know but I don't know what to do about it. Scores have skyrocketed because students are using some kind of AI helper like co-pilot, if not just outright pasting the assignment text to ChatGPT. It's hard to p

PCMCIA cards were cool. It's much nicer to have peripherals in the laptop. Although my modem card didn't have this XJACK thing, it had a big chunky end that stuck out of the laptop to fit an RJ11.

Maybe their focus on costs is why their recent cars are terrible. I've had a 22 Jetta as a loaner and it's the worst car I've driven in a long time. I've driven older jettas like 10-15 years ago and they were pretty spo
